Christoper Schippers-Wakeling, BACP
Practical counselling for stress and relationships
Book with ChristoperAbout Christoper
Christoper Schippers-Wakeling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger and difficulties with motivation.
He aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions focus on small, practical steps so people can begin to feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Christoper encourages clients to set goals that feel achievable and to work at a pace that suits them. His work also covers grief, sleep problems, workplace stress, addictions and coping with major life changes. He is comfortable discussing sexuality and LGBT-related matters and aims to recognise how identity can affect emotional wellbeing.
Additional concerns he supports include attachment issues, panic and mood difficulties. Christoper describes his approach as collaborative. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them experiment with different ways of responding.
Progress is tracked through regular conversation about what is and is not helping. Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts international clients. If someone is unsure whether to begin, he suggests starting with a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment to see how the relationship feels.

Approaches that guide online work and choice
Christoper describes his work as evidence-based and collaborative. Two common approaches he uses are focused practical strategies and relational exploration. Practical strategies involve identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small behavioural changes to ease symptoms such as anxiety or sleep problems. Relational exploration looks at how past attachments and current relationship patterns influence feelings about intimacy, anger and self-worth.Finding the right approach is a joint process. He will discuss your goals, try different methods, and adapt the work if something is not helping. The aim is to agree on a way of working that fits the problem and your personal preferences.
The biography does not name specific session formats, so please confirm the options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, cut travel time and offer quicker check-ins when needed. It can also allow shorter or more flexible appointments to suit a work break or a tight schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while they work towards their goals.
